French Green Clay (aka Illite clay or Sea clay) contains a cornucopia of valuable elements, which include Montmorillonite, several important mineral oxides, magnesium, calcium, potassium dolomite, silica, manganese, phosphorous, silicon, copper and selenium. Green clay owes its coloration to 2 very important factors, which ultimately decide good quality clay from poor quality clay. There are iron oxides, and decomposed plant matter, mostly kelp seaweed and other algae. The natural green tones found in this luxurious clay are from the very cycles of life this earth uses to regenerate itself. The clay works by adsorbing impurities from the skin cells, by causing dead cells to slough off and by stimulating the flow of blood to epidermis. As the clay dries on the skin, it causes the pores to tighten and the skin to feel firm. Other external uses for the French Green Clay include poultices to treat arthritis, sore muscles, and sprains, bruises, insect bites, stings and minor burn and mineral baths. Some practitioners maintain that the plant matter in the French green clay has anti-inflammatory as well as antiseptic or bactericidal properties.
